Saturday Night Live

[zeb]

I'm a fan but I'll go out on a limb and suggest that most of RM isn't.

Anyone want to talk SNL with me?

[LoathedVermin72]

I am a fan, though obviously some eras are better than others.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Moynihan seems a little high here. I couldn't put him higher than McKinnon, for instance.

Che and Jost are an excellent update pairing, too.

[zeb]

Have done the set tour.

Moar info plz.

he just scratches my itch...i like him in almost everything...plus cast isn't that strong to me

che and jost haven't won me over yet, but they're getting better

i like the offbeat mooney and bennett humor, but i don't think snl is going to allow them to delve too deeply into it

im somewhat surprised a thread didnt already exist

[The Argonaut]

I like this cast, and I don't really have a problem with anyone in it. I tried to rank them all, but the only part of my list that felt right was the top three:

Vanessa Bayer
Aidy Bryant
Cecily Strong

Jones is pretty insufferable from what I've seen.

[zeb]

I like her. She's not nuanced but she makes me laugh.

As was I!

They're all at least 7/10 (Bayer is maybe the strongest of the three) but I think McKinnon is at least 9/10.

Also: Yikes Lenny -- You'd put Rudnitsky above Jones? According to the SNL site, he's only been in 14 sketches to her 76. You really don't like her, huh?

i almost wanted to put him over zamata too based on potential alone

pharaoh does some good impressions, but beyond that i think he's garbage

[Monkey_Driven]

That alien abduction skit was pretty good.
